D.859.1 By Molteni & C.
Collection: Heritage
Designer: Gio Ponti
Manufacture year: 1959
Type: Rectangular ash meeting table
The D.859.1 table, designed primarily as a meeting table for up to ten people, stands out not only for its impressive size—over 3,60 meters long—but especially for its simple yet refined design. The legs are notable for their fine-membered modernity, creating a trapezoidal single-span bridge upon which the large tapered top conveys the idea of aerodynamics. Originally made of solid ash with bronze ferrules, it is now also available in a darker-toned wood such as Black Stained Ash. In addition to its original dimensions, the D.859.1 is available in two smaller version that faithfully reproduce the harmony and proportions of the original design.

Top: Composite support in spruce slats (Picea abies) with external parts in high density fiber panel, covered with sliced veneer in ash wood painted in the varieties according to product specifications. Feet in satin finish brass and floor support in plastic material. FINISHES Structure and solid wood top: Ash wood in natural colour or stained black. Feet: Satin brass. Molteni&C is re-examining its own history with an eye to the future. The 80!Molteni exhibition, the creation of the company’s historical archive and its recently inaugurated Molteni Museum have provided an opportunity for revival, from the origins of modernity. Intriguing traces have emerged from a past that turns out to be contemporary, ripe for a re-think today. Unique pieces that can step straight out of their museum showcases and into our contemporary homes.
